Chapter 255: Qianghu Alliance
Xiahou Ru was blown up by Ma Tan and his flesh and blood were blurred, he didn't die for a while, and he was tied up in front of the Han army and tortured, and now the Wei army is really disheartened, Zhang He knew that he couldn't fight anymore, so he hurriedly sent a report to Chang'an, and led his troops to retreat quickly.
But before he got out of Longshan Road, Chang'an sent a letter in an urgent manner with a fast horse, strictly ordering him not to retreat.
"General Zhang He, the Son of Heaven has arrived in Chang'an, and I now order you not to retreat and continue to attack Jieting."
The chamberlain who delivered the decree looked at Zhang He, who had gray hair and a haggard look, with a look of disdain, and said that Zhang He was a famous general in vain, and he couldn't beat the small street pavilion with a force of 50,000 people, but paid such a big casualty.
Fortunately, the wise Cao Zhendu Governor has already had a backhand, he has already transferred the army of Qianghu and Xianbei, and is rolling towards Longshan Road, with this army, not to mention a small street pavilion, even Hanzhong can fight down!
Zhang He knelt on the ground, his knees were already a little numb, and Cao Pi's attitude made him heartbroken more than his tired body.
Qianghu and Xianbei?
Now they actually have to rely on Qianghu and Xianbei to fight?
Cao Wei has been moving people from the north into the Central Plains to replenish the population and army, and Zhang He's command also has many Hu, Qiang, and Qian with different appearances, but these people are all low-level soldiers without exception, completely dependent on the Wei army's brigade.
But now, Cao Pi actually wants to transfer a complete Qianghu army?
Last year, they were still fighting with Qianghu in the north, and now they actually rely on these people to fight, God knows how much benefit Zhang promised to these Qianghu, but I am afraid that if Tianshui is recovered, these cities will also be looted.
"Why...... Why don't you transfer the troops from Guanzhong and the Central Plains to ......?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he had asked a stupid question.
Guan Yinping is in a hurry to attack Wuguan, and Dongwu is also ready to move, wanting to take advantage of the aftermath of the Shiting Battle to attack Shouchun and Hefei, and now the Hefei guard general Zhang Liao's condition is becoming more and more serious, Cao Pi of course does not dare to transfer all the troops out at will.
There is still a large army in Youzhou, but until the last resort, Cao Pi will not mobilize them, rather than opening the door to let the Xianbei in the north enter the Central Plains, it is better to ask them to borrow some troops to fight with the Han army.
For example, the fertile land of the Central Plains, the land and people of the Northwest are completely a reasonable price.
Zhang He had a lot of worries, so he had to obey his will and let the troops turn around and return to the street pavilion.
This time it was a complete failure......
Zhang He sighed, and in addition to the sadness in his heart, he also had a few different emotions.
Phew, you wastes can be better than Lao Tzu in war? Lao Tzu's subordinates can defeat the Han army if they are defeated, then Lao Tzu is really your surname!
The combat effectiveness of this Han army stationed in the street pavilion can be called the only one in Zhang He's life, everyone is excited, scrambling to fight against Zhang He's army, these people are estimated to be difficult to disperse even if they use cavalry to impact on the plain, let alone garrison the street pavilion.
After Wang Ping repelled Zhang He, everything was not all right, he hurried to repair the city, rebuild the earthen camp, and also provided the supply of soldiers and weapons to the Ma Tan army in Nanshan, ready to deal with the comeback of the Wei army at any time.
Seeing that the Han army was so impermeable, Zhang He completely gave up the idea of a sneak attack, and set up camp near the street pavilion with peace of mind, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
A few days later, Zhang He got his wish and waited for the support of the friendly army, and before he could see the appearance of the friendly army, he first smelled a foul smell in the air, not only him, but everyone in the Wei army frowned in unison, and a few of them had even begun to retch.
A group of ragged cavalrymen rode on war horses that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and countless flies happily lingered around these war horses, breathing in this vicious breath to their heart's content.
When he looked closer, Zhang He found that these people were not in rags, but they never seemed to wear fine-grained kudzu cloth, and happily put these delicate linen clothes on their bodies layer by layer, completely ignoring the current heat.
On this hurried march, they certainly couldn't take a bath, the dirty braids were already shiny, the shabby and dirty saddle even had a feeling of maggots, Zhang He could almost see some white flowers and chubby insects crawling out of it, breathing happily.
"Zhang He, look at the good things you have done!"
In the cavalry formation, the only one who was dressed normally looked more different, Zhang He smiled bitterly and said, "De Rong, you can stand this smell." β
As he spoke, he unabashedly reached out and fanned his nose.
Zhang Ji, who was riding on the horse, looked sick, he had traveled thousands of miles these days, and his condition was getting more and more serious, seeing Zhang He's tired appearance, Zhang Ji was furious, pointed at Zhang He's nose and scolded: "Zhang He, you are incompetent and tired of the three armies, and I am tired to support, but you are acting like this, do you know that you are shameful?" β
Zhang He's face was red and white for a while, and he simply snorted and said: "The strength of the Shu army here is the only one I have seen in my life, if Zhang Tingshi doesn't believe it, it is better to directly lead the army to attack the city, you will naturally be able to understand one or two." β
Zhang Ji almost flipped off in anger on the horse, and a yin voice sounded behind him, saying: "I also said how the famous general Zhang He is, it turns out that he is just a gutless rat, and he is really laughing to death." β
Zhang He raised his eyebrows, looked at the person who came, and couldn't help sneering: "I thought that Zhang Thorn Shi Qianli invited a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, but it turned out to be you, a miscellaneous man." β
The man flipped off his war horse and strode towards Zhang He, who was also openly unafraid, pinched his knuckles with a snap, and hurried to meet him.
"Zhang He, you lost your family, you dare to bark here."
"Bu Dugen, you can speak a few words and start to learn your tongue, but it's really interesting, how about a few more words for Naiong to listen to?"
This Xianbei man is fat, with a full beard, listening to Zhang He's insults, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and he sneered: "Zhang Tingshi, I Budugen originally lived in Yanmen, I heard that the Shu people entered the Kou, and led the troops to cross the river in order to protect the great Wei Shejicai, thousands of miles away,
Since General Zhang He is mighty and doesn't need us people, then I'll go back and say hello to the Son of Heaven for me! β
Zhang Ji coughed angrily and said: "Budugen, Hugh has to behave like this, Zhang Jun doesn't choose what to say, I have my own punishment, but you are ordered by the emperor of Great Wei to King Qin, if you want to leave, you should be treated as an escapeββ
Do you think that my Zhang Ji's knife will not dare to kill you? β
Bu Du Gen is the younger brother of the head of the Xianbei Lord, its power is distributed in Taiyuan, Yanmen generation, often into the Kou Middle Earth, but also often to Cao Wei tribute, before Cao Zhen defeated the Qiang-Hu coalition army, a large number of Qianghu for refuge, have fled into Yanmen, so that Bu Dugen's strength has increased greatly.
Of course, the inflated Budugen also has the idea of entering the Central Plains, but he knows that now is not the time, because he has a strong opponent - Kebineng, who is entrenched in the northern part of the state!
Kebi Nengbu's combat power is far above him, even if his strength is now expanding, it is difficult to confront Kebi Neng head-on, if he fails to enter the Central Plains head-on, he will inevitably be wiped out by that ambitious guy.
When Bu Dugen was hesitating, Zhang Ji came to ask for help, and he told Bu Dugen that if he could rescue Tianshui, the imperial court would officially canonize him, make him the real king of the desert, and fight Ke Bineng with him.
Not to mention, Zhang Ji also vaguely said that all the court wanted was land, and Tianshui, including Longxi and Liangzhou, he could indulge his men and horses to plunder until he was satisfied.
Under such conditions, Bu Dugen naturally moved his index finger excitedly, and hurriedly led the men and horses of his headquarters and a large number of Qianghu to come to help in the battle.
At first, he was worried that he would fall into the encirclement of the Wei army, so he refused to hurry, but on the way, he heard that Zhang He, the general of the Wei army, was actually beaten under the street pavilion city, and Cao Wei's main army was also restrained by a woman in Wuguan and did not dare to move.
In other words, the only thing Cao Wei can count on now is really only his warriors!
This really made Bu Dugen feel the take-off of happiness, and happiness came too suddenly.
Hey, Zhang He is also an old enemy, Bu Dugen fought with Zhang He under Yuan Shao when he was young, and he knows that this product is good at using soldiers, and it is extremely powerful.
didn't expect him to be stupid like this now, 50,000 people would not be able to beat a small street pavilion city, which is simply a big mistake in the world.
He bared his teeth and snorted for a long time, patted his fat belly again, and said, "I'll give Zhang Tingshi a face, if there is only Zhang He, the birdman, I will leave without looking back." β
When he saw Zhang He's angry eyes, he couldn't help laughing: "What, not convinced?" 50,000 people can't beat this small city, what do you say you want? β
Zhang He said angrily: "If you really have the ability, you might as well try it yourself." β
Bu Dugen patted his belly proudly, and said: "Of course, you wait, wait for a good rest today, tomorrow will not be a noon, I will fill this small city, when the time comes, Shu will catch it, I want to ask him how to fight General Zhang." β
Zhang Ji is like a mirror in his heart, he knows that Zhang He is a cautious person, he can't win the opponent, there must be many ways, this step is so arrogant, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss,
But now it's up to Zhang He to tell it well, but I'm afraid that one won't want to say it, and the other won't want to listen, so I can only fight first and then watch it.
He coughed a few times, and immediately summoned Bu Dugen and Zhang He to discuss military affairs together, Zhang He lazily told the two that in addition to the frontal defense of Jieting City, the Han army also specially arranged a team of soldiers and horses in Nanshan as a horn, and as soon as the battle started, they could support each other.
But it was also Xiahou Ru who violated the festival, stormed Nanshan, and put all the reserves prepared by Zhang He into the battle of Nanshan, and ended up with the annihilation of the whole army, which led to the failure of Zhang He's fight against the street pavilion.
Since Zhang was a person who knew the soldiers, he immediately heard that Zhang He was shirking his responsibility, but it was not easy to accuse Zhang He in front of Bu Dugen, so he had to sigh and say: "Are you sure that Nanshan is just a partial teacher of Shu Kou?" β
Zhang He hesitated for a moment, but still said resolutely: "There must be no doubt that he is biased, the person who leads the troops does not have any generals, but Wang Ping of Jieting City is too powerful......"
Bu Dugen laughed and said, "Look at what kind of general Zhang has been scared of?" Even if the small city of Jieting is full of people, it can fit a few, and no matter how powerful the Shu army is, it is definitely not an opponent for us.
Let's do it, tomorrow we will attack the street pavilion, and you will fight Nanshan? β
Zhang Ji frowned, and just wanted to refuse, Zhang He had already sneered and said, "Okay, just do as you say!"
If you die, don't say that I won't save you. β
"I'm walking across the desert, do you still use others to save me? It's really a laugh out of the big teeth. β
Zhang Ji's face became more and more gloomy, he couldn't get up in one breath, and coughed violently a few times, although his own soldiers were strong, he still had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that Great Wei is about to fall here?
